Abstract
A method for real time communication in a virtual environment. The method includes presenting, in the virtual environment, a virtual payment object associated with a first user and a virtual payment processing object associated with a second user. The virtual payment object is associated with a real payment object. The virtual payment processing object is associated with a real payment processing service. Responsive to detecting an interaction in the virtual environment between the virtual payment object and the virtual payment processing object, data describing the real payment object is transmitted to the real payment processing service via a real time communication protocol, causing the real payment processing service to process a real payment from the real payment object to an account associated with the second user in near real time.
